I’m grateful to be included in the Stanford/Elsevier Top 2% Scientists List 2026:

I was first included in the list in 2024, and this marks my third consecutive year of inclusion. This year, I’m also included in the Career Long list for the first time.

Research is never an individual endeavor. I’m deeply grateful to my family, current and former students, visiting scholars, mentors, collaborators, funders, editors, reviewers, and colleagues. Thank you for your support.
